Friday night marked the tenth World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet win for a member of the online poker community. This time around, Dean msusfinestHamrick came out on top of the field in Event #42 of the 2010 WSOP, a $1,500 No Limit Hold’em tournament. Hamrick banked over $600,000 for the win, recording his first bracelet. The “Year of Redemption,” as many have dubbed it, rolled on, as Hamrick bubbled the 2008 Main Event final table, bowing out in 10th place for $591,000.

2008 marked the very first installment of the November Nine, the nine players who would return to the Rio after a 100-day break in the Main Event to play down to a champion. Hamrick missed out on marketing gold, as players like Dennis Phillips and Scott r_a_yMontgomery used the four-month period to conduct a bundle of interviews and prepare themselves for a run at over $9 million. In the end, it was PokerStarspro Peter Eastgate taking down the bracelet.

2009 WSOP Main Event champ Joe jcada99Cada (pictured) was among those rooting on Hamrick, a Michigan native, last night. Hamrick told tournament officials following his bracelet win how his letdown two years ago contributed to his success today: “If I would not have had that experience then, I would not have won this event today. It shows that you can never give up. You have to stay patient. You have to pick the spots and you can’t just throw it all away because it is very rare to make a final table and it might not come again. You realize how important this is, so you really have to try and concentrate and just stay in the moment and not let any of the other distractions get to you.”

Here are the results from Event #42:

1. Dean msusfinestHamrick – $604,222
2. Thomas O’Neal – $375,627
3. Ian Wiley – $265,869

Nine players remain in Event #44, $2,500 Mixed Hold’em, out of the 507 that registered two days ago. The top prize is $268,000 and each player left in the hunt for the bracelet will receive a payout of at least $21,000. Mike michnakMichnik holds the fourth largest stack at 527,000, trailing chip leader Jarred Solomon’s mountain of 748,000.

Timothy highlandfoxFinne (pictured), who won the PokerStars Sunday 500 one year ago for $92,000, sits in fifth on the leaderboard with 331,000. Finne sent Alfonso Amendola away in tenth place when his pocket eights outlasted A-Q. The board ran out 5-6-10-K-9 and the nine-handed final table in the bracelet event was determined.

Also in the hunt for his first bracelet at his second WSOP final table is Jamie thrcronic420 Rosen. The 58th player in the PocketFives.com Online Poker Rankings, Rosen recently won the Full Tilt Poker $150 rebuy for $74,000 and final tabled the Sunday Million late last year for $47,000.
